Can someone smarter than me take a look at this. I'm trying to implement a Bezier curve algorithm I found here in objective-c.
The output is way wrong. I think I converted the code correctly so either the original was wrong or was not ment to be used like this... If I use the built in NSBezierPath
the curve looks great but I can't use the built in NSBezierPath
.
NSBezierPath example
NSBezierPath *bezierPath = [[NSBezierPath alloc] init];
[bezierPath setLineWidth:1.0f];
[bezierPath moveToPoint:NSMakePoint(x1, y1)];
[bezierPath curveToPoint:NSMakePoint(x4, y4) controlPoint1:NSMakePoint(x2, y2) controlPoint2:NSMakePoint(x3, y3)];
My code trying to draw a bezier curve
- (void)drawBezierFrom:(NSPoint)from to:(NSPoint)to controlA:(NSPoint)a controlB:(NSPoint)b color:(NSUInteger)color
{
float qx, qy;
float q1, q2, q3, q4;
int plotx, ploty;
float t = 0.0;
while (t <= 1)
{
q1 = t*t*t*-1 + t*t*3 + t*-3 + 1;
q2 = t*t*t*3 + t*t*-6 + t*3;
q3 = t*t*t*-3 + t*t*3;
q4 = t*t*t;
qx = q1*from.x + q2*to.x * q3*a.x + q4*b.x;
qy = q1*from.y + q2*to.y * q3*a.y + q4*b.y;
plotx = round(qx);
ploty = round(qy);
[self drawPixelColor:color atX:plotx y:ploty];
t = t + 0.003;
}
}
Edit
See Bezier curve algorithm in objective-c needs a tweak for a completed functional Bezier Curve method.
